Shanghai has announced that thousands of diseased pig carcasses dumped in one of the city’s rivers will “have no impact” on water quality there – sadly an all too believable proclamation…

The final count of diseased pig carcasses recovered from the river differs according to source – Shanghai authorities now concede “over 2800” found their way into the waters, whilst one local paper puts the count at “3323” and another “4600.”

However, officials say that “as the disease poses no danger to humans there is no effect on the water quality.”

The pigs themselves have been identified from ear tags as coming from neighbouring Zhejiang province, where they apparently became sick and unsellable, even in China.

The epidemic soon resulted in the deaths of “tens of thousands” of the animals. The farmers afflicted took the only responsible course of action open to them and dumped them in the river.

As well as dangers from their decomposing remains, there is concern that the disease they were infected poses a further risk to the public, along with the common Chinese agricultural practice of “pickling” their animals in antibiotics.

With the misuse of antibiotics and horrible practices such as this, I fear a true unkillable horror-disease may come out of china to infect us all one day.

That coupled with the enormous danger they represent to the earth's atmosphere, I wish something was done about china. But of course nothing will be done, because it's too good a source of slave labor.

I don't see that happening anytime soon. The only ones who want a war are N.Korea and USA (go figure). But if N.Korea history of standing on the other side of the fence while flipping the bird is anything to go by. That's all it is going to be.

You know, Africa could really use the economy boost.... but then again, I guess that place is a no-go. Nobody likes to see "slave labor" and "Africans" in the same context due to our country's history (slave labor+Asians or slave labor+Latinos seems perfectly acceptable, though).

Well, if there was a unkillable horror-disease, then the good source of slave labor would just die off.....and then all the companies stop going there....and then China gets desperate and start WW3. >.>

There are 1.4 billion people in China. That's more than the population of both North American and Europe combined, and I mean the entire continents, all member countries accounted for. What would you propose to do?

Actually what I was thinking of was something doable, like, for starters, the governments of the world paying actual attention to something like this and calling those responsible out on it. Not just letting them get away with bullshit such as "there is no effect on water quality".

As China has major influence in the west, so does the west in China. I'm sure they would listen, if things like this were actually -talked about- by influential parties. But that just doesn't happen, for reasons we can all guess at.

Americans advocating genocide through nukes? But wait also drumming extreme patriotism to comfort their low self esteem and inferiority complex?

What else is new in the land of Sankaku? The slum for white boys trying to be Japanese. 2ch are right. This place has become the gutter trash for white people playing "I'm Japanese. Love ME!". The only thing 2ch likes about you guys are the fact you defend them at every chance and trash talk China. So you're doing something right.

LOL. Typical chinese cunt who believes their own delusions that ignores all the facts that they had ALL POSSIBLE ADVANTAGES and still lost 20 times the number of Americans, not to mention 70% of their own POW refused to return to PRC because they were such cowards. You have the great example of your whole division surrendering to the Americans and being a bitch in the prison camp. At least Americans had the balls to fight to the end even when they were outnumbered 4:1.

China had what, 20 years of experience fighting amongst themselves, against better equipped enemy like IJA and thus had plenty of time to develop battlefield experience in light-infantry tactics that nullified technological advantages, and more than enough reserves of people to make up losses and continue handing down their experience. US had neither the experience nor the numbers comparable, but you still lost so much because you didn't have the balls to stay and fight and had to have your whole division surrender like a bitch.

Korea is neither a tank or plane country - it's ideal for light-infantry/overwhelming reserve tactics employed by the chinese during the early phases when they had to outnumber UN forces by 3 to 1 in almost every engagement just to win a few fights while US was fighting from half way across the world. You bitching about 'supply problems' is laughable when US literally had to travel half way across the globe while you were fighting in your own back yard.

Not to mention, chinese had least clad their troops warmly compared to americans, which helped a lot more than thin uniforms US troops wore and still froze less than your pussy chinks in your layers of uniform shipped from USSR.

US veterans were mostly retired, the troops facing the chinese were fresh and green, and most of all lacking experience. The only advantage of tech was not only nullified, it was ineffective in the age of dumb bombs and lack of modern precision weaponry - B-29 bombers normally only could have 10% accuracy against STATIONARY targets like cities, much less against mobile targets like troop formations. Of course, pussies always try to convince themselves they lost to 'things' when in fact marines and army fucked them in the ass so much they were told to ignore the marines for the fear of facing them in open combat.

PPSH-41 and other weapons were actually much better suited to the terrain of korea than m-1 garand that US employed. Not to mention, you had Mig-15 and artillery from USSR running interference. US only brought in Saber after the migs were introduced. Yet, still you did not gain advantages in weaponry because you didn't have the balls to attack unless you had overwhelming advantages in numbers and tactics, meanwhile americans came up with decisions and tactics that proved your impotence in every possible occasion when you couldn't rely on cowardly mentality of needing every advantage just to narrowly win a fight.

Most importantly, US would have destroyed china after we pushed back up half way into NK but your big brother USSR initiated diplomatic pressure to US by threatening to go to open nuclear war in western europe. US didn't want already war-torn europe to fall victim to another more destructive war, and thus spared the chinese and NK from total annihilation. Mao himself was gritting his teeth asking the soviets for more supplies and hinting at needs for political resolution to the conflict via USSR pressure. That is the chief reason why stalemate occured back on the 38th parallel, all the while with all your advantages chinks got their asses fucked half way back to NK and relied on USSR political pressure to save your precious PVA from winding up freezing to death in US prison camps.

So, you had all the possible advantages of terrain, tactics, numbers, experience, proximity, and USSR backing you but STILL LOST THE INITIATIVE and wound up with over 600,000 dead and many more wounded at least (of course, your cowardly mentality won't even acknowledge the facts, like your little 'history books').

The only thing China can do right now is nuke itself. Just look at their low quality garbage products.

Do you really think their nukes are any better?

In fact they don't even have to be nuked, it would be enough to stage it and then they'd piss their pants like the typical anti-social bully they are and blow themselves up trying to launch their garbage nukes.

The irony would be fantastic and they would be remembered as the idiots of asia for a looong time to come.
